Really added to the danger of the film.ĭirector Morten Tyldum is a director with a clear vision.
#Headhunters movie nudity plus
Also, this film has some pretty brutal violence that's as graphic as any horror film, which was a plus for me.
I don't want too many other specific things, since the whole fun of this movie was to see what other obstacles the filmmakers were going to throw at Roger. There's also an exciting scene with an attack dog. I guarantee you will be on the edge of your seat with unbearable tension and absolute disgust as Roger hides in an outhouse. I kept thinking, "How the hell is he going to get out of this one?" And everyone of these set pieces end with Roger getting away in clever and suspenseful ways. The filmmakers find many ways that Roger can either die or get caught, and it always seems like they're impossible situations to get out of. As Roger is being hunted by Clas, the situations he keeps getting in get worse and worse. This movie isn't necessarily groundbreaking and original, but the way it builds suspense little by little as the tension slowly escalates that eventually it becomes nearly unbearable (in the best way possible). The big reason why this movie works is because of the structure, which is basically a clear cut thriller. He realizes he hasn't been the best person, and you actually believe that he would change if he lives through all these events.īut I'm getting ahead of myself here. That's because his character begins to change as his life falls apart thread by thread. But for some reason we end up rooting for him by the end of the movie. A cold and calculating individual who likes all the expensive superficial things in his life. Then we get to know Roger, who is kind of a prick. This brief opening sequence told me that I was in the hands of a director who knew what he was doing. The movie starts with a quick list of rules to follow during a robbery with rapid fire editing and prominent images. This is quite possibly the most purely entertaining film I have seen in quite some time. That plot description does not do the movie justice. Now, after taking the painting, Clas is hot on Roger's trailer. Also, the thief discovers that his wife is having an affair with Clas. Roger plans on stealing it with his partner, but one thing he didn't count on was that Clas used to be a special agent in the Military with excellent tracking and assassination skills. Through her he meets an art collector named Clas, who owns a rare original painting. Roger also has a gorgeous wife who runs an art gallery. Even though he works as a headhunter (recruiting people for various companies) he makes his real money by reprinting famous paintings, finding the original, and then replacing them to sell the original on the black market.
This nail-biting thriller from Norway is about an art thief named Roger. Written by Lars Gudmestad & Ulf Ryberg (Based on the novel by Jo Nesbo) Starring Aksel Hennie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Synnove Macody Lund Rated R for bloody violence including some grisly images, strong sexual content and nudity.
